Chapter 22: Good Name and Broken Dog
Yan Fei nodded.
"If I can't even use color pages for photos, I can't think of any other content that can be used for color pages, especially swimsuits, which attract the attention of teenagers. How did you come up with the idea to start with a photo? ”
Shen Xin touched his nose, a little embarrassed, after all, it was not his idea.
"Is there any idea for the development of the later story? The beginning of this form, the back will not collapse, right? Yan Fei asked.
"Definitely not!" Shen Xin said with an oath.
This book is almost over for 20 years, to put it mildly, the son of the hero and heroine should also be admitted to college, how can it collapse?
Moreover, "I"s" is a comic serialized on "jump", and its story and name are checked by the editors of "jump", and the requirements for manuscripts are definitely higher than those of most magazines, which is also where Shen Xin's confidence lies.
"I believe you this time." Yan Fei nodded with a chuckle and continued to look down.
The next cartoon leads to the male protagonist Yi Gui, and the first three pages of the photo are from the magazine in Yi Gui's hand.
The girl on the photo, Iori, is Yi Gui's classmate, with a pure appearance, and is sought after by many boys, and Yi Gui is also one of them.
Yi Gui's good friend Gu Jingya found out that Iori had taken a photo for a magazine by chance, so he told him about it.
Yi Gui is very interested in magazines, but he also knows that there is a big distance between him and Iori, and it is almost impossible to have a relatively close communication with Iori.
"There is such a big gap between the identities of these two people, how can they intersect?" Yan Fei read the name carefully, her brows furrowed.
The next page of the sketch solved Yan Fei's doubts.
Since the class has a "welcome party", there are two executive members, one male and one female. The method taken by the head teacher of the bearded family is to draw lots, and as for the results of the lottery, Yi Gui and Iori "coincidentally" became the "lucky ones".
"It turned out to be a coincidence." Yan Fei bowed slightly, many cartoonists like this method of coincidence.
Because both of them are executive committee members, they have the opportunity to communicate after class.
The next day, Yi Gui walked smugly in the corridor of the classroom, while Gu Jingya followed behind him, teasing him and Iori. Inadvertently, Yi Gui found that outside the opposite teaching building, another group of boys gathered outside the classroom, looking into the classroom through the window, and from time to time there were words of ridicule of Iori, who was rehearsing dances, mostly related to "breasts" and "fat ci".
Yi Gui was furious, didn't care about anything else, picked up a wooden stick and rushed at these boys, desperate to drive them away, and the curtains of the classroom were also opened, and the teacher angrily scolded the boys inside, at this time Yi Gui could only drive the other boys away, and he was the only one left outside the window.
With tears in her eyes, Iori looked at Yi Gui with four eyes. Gu Jingya pulled Yi Gui and fled in embarrassment.
This is where the Name comes to an abrupt end.
"Huh?" Yan Fei was looking at the rise, and suddenly found that the name was gone, and he looked confused, and the next moment he raised his head and looked at Shen Xin, "What about the name in the back?" ”
"I didn't ...... Nope. Shen Xin scratched his head and said with a dry smile.
"Gone!?" Yan Fei's brows furrowed, and she glared at Shen Xin angrily, "How can it be gone down there?" ”
"Sister Yan, cough, ...... below"
Shen Xin didn't know how to answer Yan Fei.
"Huh? Below? Does Sister Yan want to eat noodles? It seems that the house is gone. Why don't I buy it? Xi Muhan walked out of the kitchen with the soup basin and looked at Yan Fei with a confused expression.
Yan Fei's cheeks instantly reddened, she also heard the ambiguity in her words, and coughed dryly twice, "I don't like to eat noodles, we're just discussing the plot." ”
Then, she glared at the innocent Shen Xin, "You know, what do you want to say most now?" ”
"Yes. ' One day, with a knife in hand, slaughter all the dogs in the world'. Shen Xin said very honestly.
If he hadn't read the comics in advance, he would have said this to Gui Zhenghe.
"Broken Chapters? Belch...... That's pretty much what it means. I said, can't you finish the story, or don't draw the last plot? ”
Yan Fei's current feeling is like a kitten scratching her heart, unspeakably uncomfortable.
From the current point of view, the misunderstanding between Yi Gui and Iori has already occurred, and this is only the first episode of the story, indicating that the next two people will have to resolve the misunderstanding.
Judging from the first episode, Yi Gui likes Iori, but he doesn't have the courage to tell Iori, which shows that the male protagonist's character is indecisive, and the girl is a person with strong self-esteem, otherwise she wouldn't have shed tears.
They shouldn't take the initiative to admit their mistakes, so how do you open this knot? What will Iori think of Yi Gui?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Yan Fei's heart became.
"Sister Yan, you also know that the reason why I draw the name like this is also to attract readers? If they don't get stuck in the plot at the most critical moment, will they still think about reading the next episode? Of course, it is easy to offend the reader by doing so, and I have memorized this infamy. Shen Xin sighed, looking like he was about to be righteous.
"I ...... Accept your words, but is it really gone? Yan Fei was unwilling and repeated it again.
"No, Sister Yan, this is a 55-page name, not 20 pages, it's still difficult to draw it."
Although the names of episodes 2 and 3 have been drawn, Shen Xin does not plan to hand them over.
In the past two days, Shen Xin has thought about a lot of things when practicing the names of the second and third words. His current skill is too different from Gui Zhenghe, and if he draws it completely according to the comics of "I"s", he will invisibly raise his strength, so there will definitely be a time to show his stuffing.
He would rather "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger" than be "slapped in the face". Therefore, Shen Xin decided to start from the second episode and use the name he drawn.
As for the first episode, Shen Xin decided to use Gui Zhenghe's original name. The reason is also very simple, there is a saying of "crested leopard tail pork belly" in high school essays, and online novels emphasize the "golden three chapters", whether it is a comic or a novel, a good beginning determines the score of the book to a large extent.
"Okay, with all that said, I'll mention the shortcomings of this name somewhat." Yan Fei took a deep breath and tried to stop thinking about the name of the second word.
"Huh? Have a downside? Shen Xin said in surprise.
Just now, I was still thinking, in order to ensure the quality of the first word, Shen Xin decided to use Gui Zhenghe's name, why did he have a shortcoming in a blink of an eye?
"Anyway, I don't think it's right, mainly in terms of story. The perspective of the comic is somewhat single, and the progress of the story is all described from the perspective of Yi Gui. This will allow the reader to bring Yi Gui's perspective...... Will this lose some female readers? Moreover, judging from the first episode, Iori's image is quite three-dimensional. But it's a romance comic, right? ”
Shen Xin nodded.
"So there must be other female characters, so, what about them? The way you draw will make the other characters thin. Yan Fei said worriedly.
Hit the nail on the head.
Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei in surprise, these shortcomings are also the most criticized part of "I"s".
The entire manga is almost written around the male protagonist, so the portrayal of Kazuki Seto is very successful, but the follow-up, especially the character who appears at the end, is paper-based because of lack of space.
This is a structural problem with "I"s, and there is no solution unless the name is changed in a big way.
I didn't expect Yan Fei to see so many problems from the first sentence, which is too powerful.
Shen Xin suddenly felt that Yan Fei was really powerful, but he decided to draw according to Gui Zhenghe's name, "Sister Yan, now the comics started from Master Osamu Tezuka, and now they have developed for so many years, do you think there are flawless comics?" ”
"Nope." Yan Fei shook her head.
"That's it. I don't think a good manga can be exhaustive, and if it says everything, it means that it doesn't say anything. How can a manga without characteristics be remembered? And once a comic has a character, it must be missing something. 'The lesser of two evils and the heavier of the two benefits', I can only do my best to give full play to my advantages. As for the disadvantages - if everyone thinks it's a good manga, the shortcomings aren't that important. Shen Xin explained.
Yan Fei rubbed her chin, what Shen Xin said did make sense.
